Whodat Smith-Jones posted:I switched it to the FM tuner, and both channels seemed to sound normal. My uncle also ran some kind of test to determine whether it was an issue with the tonearm or cartridge and said those were both normal and that the issue was most likely with the preamp in the receiver. I haven't tried to hook up an iPod or anything though. This might be a stupid question, but did you (or your uncle) check the antiskate force? If it's set too high or low, I guess you could get some channel imbalance, which would only appear when playing records. It should usually be set about equal to the tracking force.

Ron Burgundy posted:I dropped some 3 in 1 oil in and popped the tonearm back down. Nice to see, thanks for posting pics and all! I'm not an expert in bearing grease, but isn't it common to use something a bit thicker than 3 in 1? I'd be worried about having to do the whole procedure over again in a year or so, if it dries out.

eddiewalker posted:What should I be doing to prevent pops and clicks when playing new vinyl? My dry anti-static brush isn't getting the job done, but I don't have any old and grimy records, so I don't think I need any of the expensive tools. New vinyl shouldn't really have pops and clicks. Is there visible dust on it that the brush doesn't pick up? If there's no dust and you still hear pops, you might have gotten a dud record. It happens sometimes. A lot of vinyl press shops are very small these days, and might have quality control issues. Try a different (new) record and if that one is better, return the one with the pops. My brother's band got a whole bad pressing once, where all the copies sounded like crap and it had to be re-pressed. Or, I guess you could have some problem with your stylus or cartridge...
